State Politics.

The Wheeling Register of the 9th

a Vel Posted Correspondent" has
the following from the capital of the
State:
1 find Col. Chew has many adj
mirers in the Democratic ranks here,
who are for him for Governor, teeth
and toe nail, and they are by no means
confined to men hitherto belonging to
any particular faction or wing. Sew
eral seem to think that Kanawha is
entitled to the nomination for Attor-
ney General, but the majority have
interviewed on this subject, are favor

Kidd, of Gilmer county, who is also
an aspirant. has many admirers, in
fact some who are constrained to say
they would support him should he be
an aspirant. Rowan seems to be the
general choice for nomination for
Treasurer, although James Holly, of
Lincoln comfy, is mentioned in con-
nection with it. Holly has consider

The Beginning Of the End.

The beginning of disease is slight debility
or disorder of some of the vital organs. the
stomach, the liver or the bowels usually -
There are dyspcptic symptoms. the liver is
troublesome. the skin grows tawncY and nm
healthy looking. there arc pains in the right
side or through tho right shoulder blade. TIE
climax is often au utter prOstratiou of the
physical energies. perhaps fatal issue. But
IL the difficulty is met in time with Hostetter's
remedy. and it should be resorted to at an early
stage. there will be no reason to apprehend
those injurious subsequent effects upon the
system often cntailcd by entirely cured dis
cases. Far better is it, also to employ this safe
remedial agent in fever and ague, and other
malarial complaints. than qunine and other
potent drugs, which. even when they do prove
effcctual for a time, ruin the stunach and i'm
pair the general health.

A Silly Romance.

An escapade, which partakes. some
what of romance, the parties to
which are we'll known in the commu-
nifty, was made public on last Satur-
day. 1t appears that on Oct. 22nd,
1886, Mr.. Stewart Westenhaver and
Miss Maggie Burkhart, second
daughter of Mr.. Robert G. Burkhart,
accompanied Mr.. and Mrs. Burkhart
and other members of the family to
the Hagerstown Fair, and while the
others went out to the fair grounds
the young couple made some excuse
for remaining in town, and straight
way went and got married. The
scheme had evidently been precon-
certed as Mr.. Westenhaver, being a
Catholic, had gotten dispensation
from the proper authorities to marry
q protestant and was also equipped
with a license. The matter was
kept profound secret until last Sat
urday when Mr.. Westenhaver, to the
utter surprise of the parents, came
to claim his bride and take her to his
home. There was no occasion for
any clandestine proceedings in this
matter, because Mr.. Burkhart had
no objection to the young man but
when consulted on the subject about
year ago, merely advised, as they
were both quite young, that the
marriage should be postponed for a
time, but the young people would
not take that view of the case. Mr..
and Mrs. Burkhart naturally feel a
little sore over the occurrence but
take practical view of the matter
and accord the young couple their
hest wishes and parental blessings.
Our advice to all young people is not
TO go and do likewise.
